I'm not sure this is true considering the emissions and environmental impacts of the entire supply chain for competing technologies. I'm also pretty sure you can't make a metal-free battery that's even close to competitive due to the requirements of the anode material.
This doesn't apply to you in particular, but man this thread is full of regressive BS without any real research or data to support it. I don't have the desire or time to go play fact checker but damn there is some hardcore EV scaremongering. Nothing is perfect, but it doesn't have to be. CRTs are still better at some things than LCDs but sometimes you have to make tradeoffs. |
